I’ve lost ten pounds since the holidays! Having been on the Injured Reserve list with a knee injury for over a year I packed on the extra weight. I’ve been fortunate enough all my life not to have to deal with weight loss issues so I wasn’t sure what to do. Quite... by Karen | Mar 19, 2010 | CRM Usage Tips |
A few years back I worked with a large cruise line company. Although the cruise line spared no expensive when it came to onboard amenities, the CEO flatly refused to spend money on an ESP (e-mail service provider) to help send out his e-marketing campaign to his very... by Karen | Mar 12, 2010 | CRM Usage Tips |
I got a call from a potential client the other day who wanted help in converting his existing databases into the latest version of ACT; he was a long-time ACT user and had accumulated over 20 databases.

I recently ran across a wonderful story in the Washington Post about two high school kids who stumbled across an abandoned baby on their way home from school 20 years ago. The baby, only hours old when the kids found her, were ultimately turned over to authorities.... by Karen | Feb 12, 2010 | CRM Usage Tips |
I love my tennis buddies even if they are a bit technically challenged. Take away their AOL accounts and they’d never be able to access e-mail; to them a browser is someone who’s not yet ready to make a purchase. I found it quite interesting that lately many of them... by Karen | Jan 18, 2010 | ACT Software, CRM Usage Tips |
Once upon a time life was much simpler – at least if you believe everything you see in “Leave It To Beaver” re-runs. Dad marched off to the office every day while Mom stayed home and dusted. Not once did you hear Dad cursing because he couldn’t find his software... by Karen | Jan 8, 2010 | CRM Usage Tips |
My twenty-three year old daughter was home for the holidays. Hard as it is to believe, my “baby” is now a college graduate. Of course the start of a new decade left me thinking about the technological changes that have occurred over the span of a decade – and how...
